Choosing a Double Pram and Pushchair

A double pram can make life easier for families, particularly in busy shops or on busy streets. Find a model that has generous storage space for stowing nappies, snacks and other essentials.

Some parents who are new to the family opt for a future-proof pushchair that can be used as a single stroller when baby is born. It can be changed into a twin mode once he or she has arrived. Joolz has a variety of options.

Tandem

The announcement that you're expecting a baby is one of the most exciting events in life. However, after the excitement fades and reality begins to sink in, you could be faced with a multitude of decisions regarding how to prepare your family for the arrival of your new one or ones. The proper stroller or pram is among the most important things to consider.

Tandem prams (also called "in-line" double prams) are a classic style with two seats or pram bassinets that are arranged side-by-side. The front seat, which is typically cushioned, reclines flat and is suitable for newborns. The second seat is upright and designed to fit toddlers as young as 3 years. Some models let you select whether your children stare at each other or face each other. Many tandems also have the option of being converted into a single pushchair if you decide your oldest child does not require the second seat.

In terms of cost the tandem is cheaper than a twin pushchair, and is a great option for parents who want to save money but not compromising on safety or functionality. A tandem can be heavy and difficult to steer, particularly when bumping over kerbs. It's also less stable than twin prams particularly if a larger child is seated in the front. A tandem can be difficult to get onto public transport and can be difficult to maneuver on narrow pavements.

The iCandy Peach is a popular model with a strong image that's a great option for a single parent who wants something streamlined, but the tandem mode can make it feel quite long and heavy when pushing. It's got frames that can be expanded in size to accommodate a second seat. It can be used with a variety of car seats, buggy seats, and carrycots (two at a time or separately). The iCandy Wave tandem is another lightweight option that's user-friendly and compatible with a variety of car seats and carrycots.

Side by side

When it comes time to choose a double push chair pram or pushchair, there's a lot to consider. There are many configuration options available, whether you're buying for twins or close-in-age siblings. Tandem prams (also called side by side prams) are a popular choice because they can be set up to accommodate infants in a bassinet on the top while the older toddler or infant sits in the seat below.

Some models come with reversible seats, which means you can alter the seating arrangement to meet the needs of your family throughout the baby and toddler years. This lets you be able to watch your children at all times and gives them the chance to be a part of the journey when they walk.

Tandem prams are typically jogging or all-terrain buggies that is why they're great for outdoor adventures and the park. These are also good for narrow aisles and checkouts in supermarkets and shops, as they are smaller.

The Redsbaby JIVE3 Pram, for instance can be used as a tandem pram right from birth in the dual mode with the addition of the rumble seat (PS249). It is then possible to switch to the single pram mode once your baby is old enough to leave the rumble seat or select the car capsule adaptors (PS53) to transform it into a traveler from newborn to toddler.

Another option is the Side by Side Pram from Babybee. This side-by-side double infant stroller pram is available in a range of colors and comes with an elegant modern design. Designed to be used right from birth, you can include the LUNA Cocoon for newborns (PS262) and the LUNA Infant Seats (PS53 each).

The Egg 2 is a stylish elegant pushchair that can be transformed into a double side-byside. It comes in a range of infant seats and carrycots to accommodate twins or siblings with different age groups. It is also super-easy to collapse. It's also fairly light and therefore a good option for people with little space in their cars or don't have enough space to store.

Convertible

The best double prams and pushchairs double can be used in a variety of ways and some are able to change into different seating arrangements to meet your changing family needs. You can fit two toddlers in the seats or a third rider on the seat board, and still have space for a basket to store your shopping, and the option to add accessories such as rain covers is a plus. Convertible double strollers are generally heavier and bulkier than single pushchairs because they have to hold two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is extremely user-friendly, but our testers thought it was a little heavy for its price.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 come with a carrycot suitable for newborns. This helps to reduce the size of the double stroller when it is not in use and makes it more compact. Our test subjects were awed by the City Select's clever one-handed fold. However, it does take some practice. It's also extremely agile and responsive in spite of its size.

Another affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-cheap double stroller Stroller. It can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode makes it a great option for infants.

If you want more flexibility, consider a dual-mode convertible like the iCandy Peach. It's a small double buggy that can hold 2 children side by side and can be used as a tandem, with the addition of a second-seat kit and rider board. It's nimble and responsive, and our test users were impressed by its sleek design. It's not as light as some of the other pushchairs in our list however, it comes with an enormous shopping basket that is ideal for parents with bags of toys and food.

Lightweight

Some parents like to future-proof their double buggy when they have a child and are expecting another and a convertible model is a good option. The iCandy Peach allows you to transform from a single to a double pushchair by the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is suitable for overnight sleeping). The seats are extremely comfortable and our test subjects love that they can recline in a variety of positions. They also love the fact that the canopy has an open window that can be seen from afar and has UPF 50+ protection. The rear seat can be raised high to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher said that the one downside of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it's easy to move and comes with plenty of storage space and cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. She also liked the seat's design, which is adjustable, meaning they can be positioned to face one another for siblings that want to chat and interact together when out and about.

The Delta Children LX Side-by-Side Stroller is a lighter option and still impressive. It weighs only 18 pounds, is small, and has an auto-standing fold, making it simple to carry around or put in your trunk. Parents appreciate the quality of the materials and workmanship as well as the affordable price. The only drawbacks are that the seats don't recline as well as other models we have tested and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its location and height. It is higher than the first seat.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular option. It is slim, sleek, easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee. Although they are smaller than side-by-side strollers, they can be more spacious than tandems and inline doubles. This can make them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops. However, they're usually smaller, and can be more maneuverable in tight spaces than tandems.
